If you need to fly to a dance conference or competition, consider Virgin America. Their prices are a little higher than other airlines, but Virgin America provides actual service, something many other airlines have forgotten how to do. Now Virgin America provides in-flight WiFi too. I tried the WiFi out today and it seems to work pretty well. Virgin America's checked bag charges are lower than a lot of other airlines, and in some cases, a lot lower.

If you are going to be near the San Francisco Bay Area this weekend, consider attending the Dance Critics Association/Society of Dance History Scholars 2009 conference. Click here for more information.
